Small businesses around the country are being offered access to a free new training programme to help them gain green skills, after research finds nearly two thirds (61%) of people feel it is important to shop with businesses that have strong sustainability credentials.
To help small firms respond to consumer demand and to maximise opportunities for both growth and managing costs, Small Business Britain, in partnership with Oxford Brookes Business School, has launched a new sustainability programme; Business for Good: Green Skills for Small Business.
The free six-week course, which starts on 7 February, is aimed at all small businesses looking to gain vital knowledge on topics such as sustainable marketing, accreditations, finance and more, with input from expert small business trainers, as well as academics from Oxford Brookes Business School and ARU in Peterborough.
